Once again, I am a sucker for branding. And Nintendo. I saw some fun Super Mario Easter baskets with toys, but my son is not old enough for it yet, so I resisted and just bought this Super Mario plastic Easter egg with candy inside.
It has Smarties inside, which aren’t my favorite, but it’s not like I bought it for the candy. I gave the egg (still with the colorful plastic wrap on) to my son, and he shook it to hear the candy rattle and then rolled it around on the floor. I mean, at his age, that’s what he likes to do.
Here is the egg without the plastic wrap. Maybe next year I can fill it with other goodies and hide it for my son to find.
Update: My son loved playing with the plastic egg so much, he cracked it and we had to throw it out. I found another one the following year, but the egg didn’t have the design on it! It was just a plain blue egg (so… literally the only thing Mario about it was the wrapper). Oh well.
